<br>
I have read now both your answers, but still tap in the dark with what<br>
you want to achieve and what is your actual problem. Your descriptions<br>
are a complete mixture of nomenclature.<br>

I don't know what you are talking about, honestly.<br>
<br>
The latex package you are refering to does *NOT* contain any package<br>
manager facilities. I calls R on some code which calls<br>
"library('knitr')".<br>
<br>
You are mixing completely different things here: depends, suggests etc<br>
are entities of the fedora packaging, and have nothing to do with the<br>
latex package.<br>
<br>
Upstream (other of includenrw) has no influence whatsoever what fedora<br>
packager are doing.<br>

<br>
Again wrong. includenrw is included in TeX Live. And the Fedora<br>
maintainer has packaged TeX Live and thus also includenrw.<br>
There is nothing wrong, and if at all, then it is in your handling of<br>
how you install R packages and manage them.<br>
<br>
It is *you* who has to decide whether you want to use the fedora<br>
packaged versions of R pakcages, or locally isntalled ones.<br>
<br>
BTW, I know what I am talking about: I am TeX Live developer, at the<br>
same time maintainer of TeX Live in Debian, and do quite a lot of work<br>
with R. So trust me, it is in *your* obligation to keep a workable<br>
environment.<br>
<br>
If you start installing local R packages you take the control intio your<br>
hands, but also the responsability to have all the necessary tools etc<br>
installed.<br>
<br>
Don't blame either the author of includenrw or the fedora maintainer for<br>
problems.<br>
<br>
Best<br>
